UT Coin Traders submitted this infographic to us! They also supplied a short description:

The team at UT Coin Traders have put together this incredibly detailed infographic showcasing some of the longest standing records in the Premier League. With an in-depth look at individual, team and managerial records there is no stone left unturned! From the oldest ever player to the youngest goalscorer this infographic incorporates everything you could possible need to know from one of the greatest football leagues on Earth!

The design opens with a great group illustration and some zoomed-in headshots of each player alongside their accomplishment. This is helpful in grounding the viewer as to who these key players are. Further on, the logos of different clubs also provide a useful visual cue. These images are good choices for this design, because most of the numbers don’t particularly lend themselves to data visualization; they’re more standalone. When data visualization isn’t the best choice, typography in combination with icons and illustration can really help drive a story.

In all I’d give this infographic a B- because text is kept fairly simple in most places, it’s clear what the piece is about from the visuals, and it’s well-organized. I would recommend some sort of closing statement, however, to tie it all up at the end.

This infographic comes to us from Sitata, who also provided a description for their design:

As pioneering experts in travel health and safety, Sitata prepared an infographic that provides some practical tips and advice for visitors to Brazil to ensure their World Cup trips are incident and worry-free. The key thing to note is that the vast majority of visitors to Brazil will not experience anything worse than a long lineup to pick up their tickets and an exuberant crowd living in the moment.

However, Brazil can present a challenging environment for tourists, with a number of health and safety risks to consider. As our infographic states, the three main things travellers should be aware of during their stay in Brazil are dengue fever, protests and petty crimes.

This is a very informative piece on some of the inconveniences and dangers that may impede tourists traveling for the World Cup. The design does a good job of using icons and illustrations to convey its point. The map for Dengue fever risk levels in World Cup cities is especially helpful.

I think this infographic could be much more concise by sizing down several of the elements. The negative space is valuable and should only be slightly decreased if anything (except in certain spots, like the wide space between the end of the info and the Sources section), but the icons and text can be shrunk to minimize the amount of time it takes to move through the infographic.

In all I’d give this a B — it’s very informative and keeps text fairly short where possible, but making it wider and shorter with slightly smaller elements would improve the ease of information consumption here.

This infographic was submitted to us by Just the Flight. They also provided a short description to accompany it:

One month of non-stop football can only mean one thing… One month of non-stop drinking! Here’s to making this unforgettable World Cup forgettable with this handy infographic!

This looks like a really fun game for World Cup viewers. (From the looks of the cards, they may not remember much of the match the next day, though!) Seems you’d have to have a referee for each section (Basic Rules, Special Rules, Player Rules, Team Rules, Commentary) as it’s a lot to keep track of with just one person to make the calls. (The England card is almost enough to almost make you wish that England DOESN’T win!)

It’s a fun graphic, and there are a few helpful elements that make it an infographic: the illustrations of the players and the icons of the drinking glasses. The player illustrations are great reference for a familiar football/soccer fan, and the icons of glasses in the corner of each card let you know how much to drink without checking the key each time or reading instructions.

In all I’d give this a B as it’s pretty light on text and it’s a whole lot of fun!

There are a couple of good examples of data visualization on this infographic, and I like that it stays short and sweet. Viewers get a lot of key info about Transfer Day without having to swim through a lot of extra text. The background texture, of course, makes sense for the topic, and the fonts stay consistent so that they aren’t distracting.

I’d like to see the use of data viz stay consistent, however. When I started in on the graphic, I thought that the dollar amounts in the Top-5 Biggest Premier League Signings would be represented as bar graphs relative to the signing amounts of the other players — but it turned out that £8.5 million was longer than £10 million. It would have been a good opportunity to weight the figures against one another.

The same is true for the key Twitter terms surrounding the Transfer Window. The number 165,570 is about as big as 407,215, and I think the font size of the keyword itself (QPR, with 165,570 tweets) is actually larger than the keyword with more tweets (David Beckham, with 407,215 tweets).

In all I’d give this infographic a B. It makes use of data viz, it isn’t too long, and it’s pretty clean in design. It would just be great to see data viz used to its full potential! And don’t be afraid to get creative with it too: there are more than just bar graphs out there.

The infographic starts off strong, with two good examples of data visualization and a nice variety of color. (There is an awful lot of text under Football & The Money Men, though.) The League of Debt, however, is a color-coded list of numbers–it’d be so nice to see all these numbers as bar charts, stacks of money or some other sort of visual.

Club’s Main Source of Revenue is a great example of using data viz to really quickly convey information. Right away you see that TV and Broadcasting make up the bulk of the revenue. Same with the wage explosion–a really nice timeline and line graph in one, clearly illustrating the wage discrepancies. But again, under Best Paid Footballers, we get a list of numbers, with no visual way to compare who makes more, and how much more. The IG ends again on a strong note with a graphed comparison of the clubs that make the most money.

It seems that the design shies away from including “too much” data viz–no need! We’ll get through the IG a lot faster if there’s more of it. The other biggest problem is the text–Football & The Money Men is the heaviest spot, but The League of Debt could be trimmed, too. The huge size difference between the title and the text makes the eye just want to skip over “the fine print.”

Overall I’d give this IG a B-. It’s got great data viz when it’s there, but could use a little boost to make it even better. And if we could just boost the money-making power of more footballers and football clubs, maybe we could see some more Football Trophies too!

This infographic comes to us from TravelSupermarket.com, which is a site similar to Kayak that lets you compare travel deals across multiple travel sites all at once. Upon submitting this infographic, TravelSupermarket said the following:

Here’s an infographic showing 5 worthwhile European football stadium tours with pricing, how to get there and other attractions in the area.

When it comes to the topic of their website, TravelSupermarket did a good job coming up with the idea for this infographic. For those U.S. readers, it’s important to note that these are soccer stadiums, not that game where the Bears just kicked the Seahawks’ derrieres last Sunday.

While the idea of the infographic is sound, the design could use improvement. To begin with, there’s way too much text. This reads more like an article than an infographic. To change that up, the designer could have made the important numbers stand out more by bolding/coloring them differently. The other issue with this infographic is that it uses the shadow effect way too much. This would be better with less shadows and bevels… new designers often overuse 1 effect to make up for the fact that they have not done much design in the past. This infographic currently screams “new designer” because of the use of a shadow effect on almost everything and a bevel on others.
